  I usually use L tips but the P20i are slightly sized up and M tips work fine. Out of the box these come with one set of tips installed, plus Small and Large in a tiny plastic bag that's easy to accidentally throw out. Also included is a short USB C to USB A charging cable, useful for inflight charging on the now old-fashioned large A ports. I haven't checked to see if the cable will work on data transfers - some accessory cables skip the data transfer wires. So always check for functionality when flying, and please note that some 3-in-1 triple head cables won't work inflight (but seem to work anywhere else!). Quality is very middle-of-the road, better than some of the emerging cheap brands here on Amazon, not as good as Apple, better or equal to some Galaxy and Sony earbuds I have. Sound is neutral and clean - not bass heavy or trebly - and sound stage imaging is surprising for such cheap, under $20 (with coupon promotions on the landing page) wireless earbuds. As with all my Buetooth earbuds, VLC is out of syn, Kodi is ok. VLC is adjustable for delay but it drives me nuts trying to get the fine-tuning right to sync them up. I just revert to wired earbuds or use the less user-friendly Kodi app. Pairing is tricky. Unlike Apple, these pair to a single device at a time and do not include a reset/pairing button. The first time you use them, they automatically go into pairing mode after charging (remove the pull tabs on the stem before charging!). Thereafter if you paired device is "on" they will always reconnect. If you turn off the paired device, or tell the paired device to forget the P20i's, they will go into pairing mode next time you remove them from the case. So to move them around, remove from the Bluetooth settings in your outgoing device, turn on the new device, pull one or both earbuds out and click in the device settings on the new device to pair. If you see the P20's listed in a device but they won't pair, simply remove them and they will pop up again ready to pair again. Apple Earpods are a good $19.95 wired alternative, with outstanding microphones. Airpods are a $169 elegant alternative with superb ANC (active noise cancellation and hearing aid capability. These are nearly disposable, dirt cheap, good and get the job done, and if you sit on them, drop one in the toilet, send them through the laundry, or simply let them slip out of a poorly angled hoody pocket, you won't cry.

  The GOOD: They are not harsh. There is no biting treble detail. They fit well in my ears. They pair quickly to my Samsung phone. There's an Android Soundcore app. Nothing fancy but it works. The BAD: No high treble detail. If you live for that crisp hi-hat drum sound look elsewhere. On the other side, this reduces listening fatigue. The bass output..it's there but it's sort of a unified muff to some degree. Yes I can hear electric bass notes and grand piano bass if I bother to think about it but it's sort of "backgroundized/homogenized". BUT...BUT... What does one expect for $20.00 ???? These are not my $200 Sennheisers and they don't have to be. They are a perfectly fine listening experience for uncritical listening at the coffee shop, the doctor's office waiting room, or yes even uncritical couch listening for when you want to read a book and not fire up the big stereo. Most importantly they freed me from thinking I "HAD TO" go broke spending $100.00 or more to purchase what is essentially a disposable or highly lose-able commodity. I bought these only because my new phone has no wired headphone jack. If I get one or two years out of them...great. Finally, these were the only inexpensive headphones that had good reliability and support reviews/comments. Over the years I have had good luck with Anker products. YMMV, that's my experience. Best of luck! I will update this review down the road, or, if things go haywire. ADDENDUM: Listening to Led Zeppelin "10 Years Gone" on these ear buds this morning. Sounds really good and satisfying. I can hear all the different guitar layers. P.S. Minor thing - I wish that somewhere on each one, it was made prominently clear which was Left and Right. It's there in very tiny writing on the inside of each bud but I would like a white 14 point bold L and R. Now they have made it so that when you put them in the case, only Left will go into the Left spot and the Right into the Right spot so that's one way to confirm. Just a wish. FWIW: I have no interest in taking phone calls on these earbuds, that isn't a priority to me, so....I can't speak to how well phone call audio works. My review is solely about music reproduction. Thanks.
